turbo the B.

turbo B or turbo K.

with either platform + boost you can put down more power than you will ever want on the street.

K's are a waste of money if you ask me.

What part of the country are you in? Ks have proven "difficult" to get legal in California, though some have done it.

Not to blow smoke, but I imagine getting a CCW B-series going in a Del Sol is going to be a lot easier than getting a ClockWise-spinning K-series installed & functional. Depends on how much a challenge you feel like taking on.

If you have the cash, put a K in there and boost it down the road!

Turbo your B, the K is made to make naturally aspirated hp using a combination of high displacement (opposed to the old 'teg 1.8) and high compression (much like the ITR motor) - since boost moters gain more from low compression, you'll want less compression.

And for what you're paying for it, a boosted GSR will smoke a stock K20 anyday...and if you do it right, a boosted GSR will smoke a boosted K20 O.o
